An exterior, ground-level photograph presents the Grande Synagogue de la Paix in Strasbourg, France

An exterior, ground-level photograph presents the Grande Synagogue de la Paix in Strasbourg, France. The large, light-colored stone building occupies the central and right portions of the frame under an overcast sky. Its main facade features a prominent, dark-toned metallic menorah sculpture. To the left of the menorah, a flagpole displays two flags: the national flag of France and the national flag of Israel. The left section of the building exhibits a tall, arched entrance with a geometrically patterned screen or wall. The right side of the facade includes a series of vertical elements resembling columns or recessed sections. In front of the synagogue, a set of steps leads upwards to the main entrance area, bordered by metal railings. Immediately in front of the steps, metal security barriers are erected, adorned with white banners that feature the Star of David symbol. The foreground depicts an asphalt street with faint white markings. Adjacent to the street is a concrete sidewalk, bordered by a curb. Several grey concrete bollards are spaced along the sidewalk. A bright red fire hydrant stands conspicuously on the sidewalk between two bollards. On the right side of the image, a tall, dark streetlamp pole is visible, supporting a circular blue sign with a white bicycle pictogram. A large tree with dense, dark green foliage partially obstructs the view of the building's right side and the sky. On the far right, a person is seated on a bicycle, visible from the back, wearing a light-colored top. The lower legs and feet of another person are partially visible at the extreme bottom right corner, suggesting a pedestrian. The lighting is diffused, consistent with an overcast day.
